when you lose something important you see traces of it everywhere - in pictures, abscesses and spaces that it used to belong to. your body still retains its shape and colour, its shifting mess. you conjure its image over and over again and expect it to appear when you turn around and open your eyes.. but it doesnt. where in between the bustling and shuffling of cards along a straight line did you lose the one thing that contained an old hundred dollar bill, some loose change, a polaroid of your best friend, countless proofs of mundane transactions, bank receipts, a letter, your only form of identification.............

"You know you're in love with somebody when you wake up next to them, comfortable despite your breath smelling like week-old water at the bottom of a vase, when you are terribly excited to see them, talk to them again, having missed them after all that sleep. You can fall out of bed into the shower and, still comfortable, burp or even fart while trying out various keys in which to sing the theme to a Peter Greenaway movie in which you both hated and have never seen."

re-re-results
in less than 24hours i will crack and fold. and then life will go on.
.

it may be that we are doomed, that there is no hope for us, any of us, but if that is so then let us set up a last agonizing, bloodcurdling howl, a screech of defiance, a war whoop! away with lamentation! away with elegies and dirges! away with biographies and histories, and libraries and museums! let the dead eat the dead. let us living ones dance around the rim of the crater, a last expiring dance. but a dance.

its funny now that boon lay is not the end of the world (or the part that i know). and that pluto's actually a moon. its like discovering that your pancreas is missing or something. like you know its there but you've never seen it. but when you realize its gone you realize its existence is dependent on tangible means and you miss it and you don't know why.

about to leave the house for brunch with ben.....
its funny when i think about a camp as 'just another camp' when to the kids, it is 'that camp'. yknw? sometimes i also wonder if i am trying to make a difference in their lives for my own sake, take pictures of them not to remember them but remember my own accomplishments.. so many kids pass by us but they only have one of us. so hard to explain..........
alright bye.
